Vlogmas (Day 17) - Deciding How to Improve my Life...

[@naimazaheer]

I was having a really crap day but your idea to not cut things out and just do stuff that makes you happy made me feel really happy. It turned my day around. Thanks Gi!

[@Rebeccaclaire111]

I'm going to start a 2015 a scrap book which holds memories of the year in it, which will hopefully become a tradition each following year :) xx

[@laurajanewales]

Me too :) xx

[@lifeasnikki]

I still haven't thought about my new years resolutions, but getting more productive will definitely be one of them, haha. Every year I write a list of everything I want to accomplish in the following year and attach another list with everything I was grateful for the past year, then I put somewhere 'hidden' and don't open up during the year, so it's nice to see what I actually did and didn't do when I finally see what I wrote, haha.

[@ThereforeStand]

P.S. Your vlogs also help me in my Anxiety Disorder and Depression. They make me laugh and smile and I also like when you and Tom just be you and show the humor of your relationship. Thank you Gi for giving me something to look forward to. Thank You, Sonya

[@lolamh4900]

I have two. My mum passed away in July so I'm going to try and make a happy memory jar and write happy things to put in it when a boost is needed. And to walk in parks more when the sun is shinning and even with an umbrella when it's not :)

[@Nyxie007]

A really good tip when it comes to New Year's resolutions is to make your resolutions more quantitative. Instead of saying that you want to exercise more, say you want to exercise x times each week. Or for writing, I want to write x words every day. It makes it easier to follow through with these goals because you have an actual number you're working toward.

[@carysford2579]

last new year I had the resolution to start a memory jar. it will be the same this year because it was so nice for everyone who came to visit to get involved with as well!

[@HappyMumHappyBaby]

What a gorgeous idea!! Xx

[@pejuakinade1865]

I'm going to start Zumba in the new year😊 lots of fun but also a good way to keep fit! Sooooo excited for book 3 it's unreal! Xx

[@sophiebarker4867]

I am super bad at keeping new years resolutions so I don't even normally bother making them, but a few years ago I decided I was going to have one that was to stop biting my nails! It's the only one I have ever managed to keep, so I have to say that I'm rather proud of myself! :P

[@Noname-re2kr]

This year I have thought about resolutions and thought no.. i'd rather call them goals.. so i can achieve them throughout the year that way my year is filled with possitivity and a sense of achievement. The goals can be as big or as little as you make them. For instance one of my goals is to: finish applying for uni

[@Rebecca-B95]

My new years resolutions are to be more positive, to say or do something nice to others at least once a day (e.g.. .open a door for someone or compliment them) and to eat more fruit and veg :) love the channel Gi :) happy Christmas :) xx

[@ngrace4299]

I adore your vlogs, I never want them to end! I read Christmas with Billy and Me in the hairdressers yesterday, really had to try hard not to cry on a couple of occasions, it was lovely.

[@Steffateetee]

"I would like to get rid of distractions" Sits in front of twinkly lights :D Flashy lights and me don't mix, I've been known to stare at fruit machines for minutes at a time. Very proud that you've kept up vlogmas xxx

[@lauraclark952]

The most important thing to remember is family and friends. You may have them around one day and they're gone the next. A sad lesson to learn. My heart breaks this Christmas as I am missing a few of my friends/family. I wish I had one more hour with them. Make sure to tell yours you love them every chance you get.

[@LivSmithlivdiddyliv]

Gi I absolutely love your videos! Perfect little refreshment from my own essay writing & reading for University! Happy Day 17! X

[@karenfall6117]

I decided I needed a change this year and actually started doing things I've been meaning to do for years. Just silly little things but spread out over the whole year so I always have something to look forward to. I normally come up with stupid excuses like I'm busy, no one to go with or too much hassle. Because of that I've felt so much better this year and that I haven't wasted it :)

[@febryamanatillah2924]

The twinkly lights are nice and festive, not a distraction. I have the same problem, though. I get distracted too easily, so when I need to be productive, I'm just gonna go somewhere that isn't a distraction. I always find that being outdoors is actually quite soothing and does help me concentrate better.

[@laurenmoxham1653]

New Years Resolution Is To Be Happier and More Positive

[@CatJ94]

Watching yours and Tom's vlogs is cheering me up while I'm poorly! Please keep making them after vlogmas as I look forward to them each day!! :-) x

[@jullachris90]

I do my New Years resolutions in August, because that feels more like the start of a new year for me. This year's was: I want to love and live.

[@bethanparker3285]

I love this so much, you are such an inspiration to everyone!! Ive always thought that new years resolutions was based on giving something up or not doing it as much but you have inspired me to make my new years resolutions more positive so thank you for that xx

[@charieg77]

Gi, your vlogmasses have been my favourite this year! :) I'm only up to this one so far so I'm having a marathon of your videos this morning! Xxx

[@helenrose4950]

I'm rubbish at keeping news years resolutions.... although I think next year i'm going to try to eat/be more healthier and cut out really fizzy and sugary drinks and sweets.. Though it will probably last till about end of feb!!!

[@HappyMumHappyBaby]

Two months without all that sugar will do you great though. That's why I want a detox! Xx

[@ORatcliffe]

My New Years resolution will be to do more for others. I want to help more charities, give more and be selfless. Love makes the world go around❤️

[@shannonkitsell]

An American broadway and west end actress, Sierra Boggess (she was actually Fantine in Les Mis in London just before Carrie joined I think) has a word for each year rather than lots of different resolutions. I can't remember what her one for this year was but I remember last year it was "openness", I love the idea of just one word and it made it re-evaluate resolutions and setting them for myself. I don't really know why I wanted to tell you that Gi, but your video made me think of it and maybe if giving up the chocolate doesn't work out, then maybe a word might be something to fall back on! xo

[@AmandaMcGown]

Eating a whole share pack of magic stars while watching this...definitely not cutting down on the chocolate.

[@izzydennis3842]

Hope you get better soon! Loving your vlogmas 😊❤️

[@keziastephens1123]

My New Year´s resolution is to find time to do what I really want, which happens to be writing a book! I´ve always wanted to write one, I even have two I´ve started, but work always gets in the way. Work is a company I´m co-founding but my real dream is to write a book so I´m going to make more for that. Oh and I want a bookcase with a ladder for my 700+ book collection :-)

[@rhianwilliams710]

I just love you! And your vlogmas videos you literally make my day everyday!! Xx

[@charlottejoanna22]

It's not normal how much I love you cause of vlogmas haha!!

[@syafiqahlee594]

Dear Gi, for your holiday... Sunny Singapore welcomes you xx

[@AntoniaWestFitness]

My New Year's resolution (like last year) is to learn something new. I started learning Spanish....but the novelty wore off by the second week of January, so instead I bought a ukulele and have been using KZbin to learn how to play! (First instrument I've ever tried to play...so I'm not great at it!) I also started learning how to do handstands. But of a random mix of new stuff I've never done...but it's been fun learning! In 2015 I want to learn how to rollerblade so I can join in with the Santa Skate next year. I'm really babbling here..... On your 'getting into shape for holiday' bit...If you've never tried it, I think you should try Zumba! It's fun way to get cardio into your life....I mean, who doesn't love dancing! Peace! x

[@kathrynvantyne9223]

Watching your videos always makes me so happy Gi! You're so cute and funny and I always smile when I watch youre videos! Ilysm💕

[@believeandyourhalfwaythere6439]

Your channel is great! You never fail to brighten up my day xx

[@evelienvandermeel8181]

My new years resolutions are all about making more time for creativity. First is learn a new song on guitar and piano every month. I love playing music but really have to make time to play and often choose the easy option in the evening. And another new years resolutions is to write a number of words every week so at the end of the year I've got a little story. Also thinking about vlogging my weeks, but not sure about that yet. And will also do some juicing in january. I juice all year round for breakfast most mornings, but after christmas it's nice to do a detox and feel incredible :) signed up for 14 days on Jason's worlds biggest juice detox

[@BrookesCastle]

I have 2 new years resolutions the first is to do more reading with my daughter at bedtime, my wife does it most nights as I’m running around doing jobs and my second is to do my volunteering more regularly, I work on a railway restoration project and sadly it gets pushed back sometimes so my resolution is to dedicate every 3rd Wednesday of the month to the project and hopefully I will stick to it. Completely different resolutions but both important for me PS: Bring back the dancing snowman please, makes me chuckle everytime I see it at the end of the videio

[@NeenerT56]

i love hearing all your vlogs.. thank you

[@ambereen92]

Love the alternate ending of todays vlog! Haha : )

[@lydiabagley663]

I love watching your vlogs and all your videos in fact! You always put a smile on my face, so don't stop (: xx

[@leigharmstrong1769]

I used to get Ferrero Rocher EVERY SINGLE CHRISTMAS but I've seemed to slip out of that tradition I need to start it up again.

[@emilysleight6093]

My new years resolution is to definitely keep fit! Do more things in the day instead of sitting in and lounging around in my pjs, I also want to write more and use that as a hobby :) Love your vlogs Gi! x

[@rhiannatester9706]

Your videos are just lovely Gi! I don't think you realise how beautiful you actually are!!xxx

[@charlielouisewhatley]

Thankyou for your vlogs GI your doing an great job :-)

[@KirstyLaura]

My New Years resolutions will be to get a job, either a full or a part time because since I've left college at 19 (I'm now 23), I've been signing on and unemployed.

[@ShutUpKirstie]

i really enjoy your videos Gi, there's something about your chilled, chatty style that really makes me smile! Ps just something i noticed, at 4:51 you said December instead of January- just in case anyone gets confused! Merry Christmas to you and the Fletcher/Falcone family!xx

[@disneydreamsandpixiedust1466]

Love your vlogs and Love the lights can't wait to have my own office when I get a house....too many books :)

[@stellina2610]

I'm planing on taking a picture every day as well as starting to play guitar 'again' :)

[@dominiquemclean5530]

Always good to plan positive things...helps keep things going along :) x

[@ihateketchup]

can you do a video on your makeup/skin care routine please you're so pretty and naturally flawless!

[@coffeebean4690]

I feel like you really regarding resolutions, I want mine to be more positive. I have my own mummy blog which I absoluetly love so I want to continue with that but to improve I want to start vlogging more. I love watching blogs so gonna try it myself eek

[@Louise54321able]

Your channel is amazing!!!!

[@HappyMumHappyBaby]

Thank you! Xx

[@BELLA-dg8je]

I agree

[@adamcrowderlover2010]

[@KallieShea3]

[@jhaywood89]

I don't do ANY exercise. But today I booked a gym induction. No backing out now!! PS. Your hair looks lovely in this vlog!!

[@rocibel]

I actually hate to put more pressure on myself than I already have. I had a 50/50 good/bad year. I'm actually on meds. All I want from 2015 is to be nice to me. I'll try to eat healthier, but if I want to take some chocolate, hell I'm going to take it!

[@BookNomming]

So far I'm going on a book diet... I have to read 5 before buying one I'm going to learn to drive Biggest goal for the first half of the year is to work my butt off and finish uni

[@InGleeksBrasil]

Gi,you are sooo freaking funny,your videos always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside,love all the way from brazil ♥♥♥♥

[@lauracarney8800]

Don't need to improve ur life ur perfect the way u are I wrote this before watching ur video

[@AllisonJanicki]

I think my resolution is to be less judge-y towards people, and to be more self-confident. I think being comfortable in your own skin is super important towards being happy in general.

[@clairea8455]

Bootea Teatox is pretty fantastic....purely Herbal teas, can still eat as well so not an extreme "diet" or anything. You get 14 or 28 day packs 😊 really enjoying your Vlogmas, look forward to having a pop on KZbin and see what delights you have in store for the day 😊 x

[@laurencharles5659]

Great Vlogmas again Gi! I like how you are going to be positive about New Years Resolution. I had decided in October to stop eating meat for good as my NY resolution, but after watched Vegucated and Food Inc as your mentioned in a Coffee with Gi, I'm looking forward to my meat - free xmas! But, I need a new resolution. I am thinking of doing the 1 photo a day, so that at the end of the year, I can have a scrapbook of photos to show how 2015 was?!

[@becka2665]

I love the 1 photo a day idea!! Think I might do that, thanks!!

[@fletcherxox]

becka corson Lauren Charles Would highly recommend the project 365 app! It reminds you everyday to take a photo at the time you tell it to, and I am a few days off finishing an entire year! I will be honest though, there are a lot of selfies where I haven't bothered to take a proper photo, so that's my resolution! Take different photos!

[@ywai1987]

You can make really awesome Nutella hot chocolate by warming a cup of milk and a tablespoon of Nutella and whisk it on a stove. Decorate with a quill of cinnamon and voila! Enjoy!

[@jjpowell9083]

My new years resolution is a simple but meaningful 1 and it's to be happy. I'm gonna try my best to be happy most of 2015 and to Start socializing more! I'll Let u know if i can stick to it! X

[@tonimartin4121]

Your channel is amazing Gi! Your so inspirational! :D

[@ThatsNotOkay1]

Read more books is always one of mine! I feel like I never have time to read with school and work.

[@TwoRiversInSpace]

Giovanna, I love your vlogs! Also, in January I'm also beginning a juice fast. Best of luck on yours.

[@marinamorenasouza4783]

I love you Gi! And I really love your vlogs! You are amazing! Kisses from Brazil! 😘😘💕

[@paige6628]

During the summer holidays this year I took a photo I me every day, I'm thinking I might do it during next year as I'll turn 16 and get y exam results so I want to remember it!

[@thomaskl1988]

Also had a baby 9 months ago and I like you am eating chocolate over the festive period! Life is too short :) xx

[@fayeducker8885]

Hi Gi! Loving your Vlogmasses :). What was the ballet exercise video conferencey thing you were talking about? Sounds like fun! xx

[@YoursNadine18]

my last new year resolution was getting healthier which I actually managed to do :D for next year I'm gonna try being more productive as well, need to finish university as quickly as possible

[@elizabethh953]

your hair looks SO shiny and healthy, its such a nice colour too! when are you going to do the mum Q&A from twitter the other day, im super excited?:-) my resolutions are similar to yours, more focus and revision on A levels and more exercise:-) lovely, funny and generally good vlog once again:-) love you Gi, cant wait for tomorrow!x x x

[@alexandraburns7702]

Love you GI!

[@DeepInMusic123]

atm my new years resolutions are to read more, to stop caring about what other people think of me and practise on my keyboard more often cos i have sooo many things i want to learn and the only way i can do that is to stop procrastinating

[@NatalieHoward123]

New years resolutions are rubbish. Just a to do list for the first week of January, because let's face it everyone gives up, forgets or can't be bothered after about a week anyway.

[@radioactivepsycho101]

im planing to read at least 10 books in the year :)

[@victorianielsen3509]

I love your vlogs so much!!

[@TheRexasaurus]

you should do Pilates as your activity - you just need a mat and some space on the floor i am under the age of 20 and i do it its not for old people its really good!

[@egnieannie]

I liked the lights.

[@grxce20]

I love your vlogmas videos

[@HappyMumHappyBaby]

[@grxce20]

[@leigharmstrong1769]

[@moovok]

New Year Resolutions are usually within that year, I feel

[@LJChanel]

You do the best vlogmas videos

[@dustbin1914]

I love your videos so much !!!

[@becka2665]

I planned my New Years resolutions at the end of October and one of them was giving up fizzy drinks. I decided to start there and then, I thought 'why wait untill New Year?' And im still going strong.

[@EmilyHornburg]

So I found out I could get your books in the USA lol. Which one do you suggest starting with????

[@codenamepercy]

What juice are you doing? How does it work? I've been thinking about doing one, but to be honest it all just confuses me. So any tips or anything you have would be very interesting to hear xx

[@hannahswan1193]

My birthday is on New Year's Day so I don't really put my resolutions into practice until the next day :P

[@robyngibson65]

I seem to be up late every night watching both you and Tom's vlogs :D worth it though!! Can you show your hair full length in the next vlog?! I love the colour on the ends :) xoxox

[@elana120697]

My New Years resolution is to work on my photography business. Maybe sell a few photos and do a few jobs.

[@Izzyisnotamazing]

My new years resolution is to try new things! :)

[@later_taters]

My main resolution is just to have a better year than this year, this year has been pretty rubbish.

[@Cait98_]

My new years resolution is to study very, very hard so I can pass my exams and do almost all Highers (second highest Scottish grades in school) next year. I really hope to get straight As in April/May/June. I did study hard for in April but it was English at the highest level for my year (I only did the one exam) Although my teacher didn't really tell us what we were expected to do (as its the new Scottish qualifications and my year was the first year to do it). I unfortunately failed this exam and have to re-sit the whole course this year:(. Eventhough I passed all of my class exams and my port folio

[@Buffaylo]

Mine... Is... I'll save a lot money than now. Ummm... Also I'd be love reading, now I love reading novel. Its kinda something new and fun in my life. 😹 . Happy earlier new year :)

[@marianasilva7874]

Gi, your books are going to be translated to portuguese from Portugal??

[@xoxmilliexox100]

I like your hair, it's got lovely volume:)

[@cianm7728]

I need to improve my life too.

[@RobynJG]

Happy Channukah to any other Jewish viewers x

[@TheTNA123]

I have a friend who gave up chocolate for new year, January will be the start of her 5th year of no chocolate!

[@HappyMumHappyBaby]

Whoooooooooooa!!!!! Xx
